CAR-DOOR LOCK.

which the following is a full, clear, and` exact description thereof. p i

My invention relates to car door locks and has for its object to provide a simple and cheap form of hasp lock to 'be used more' especially in connection with the sliding doors on freight cars.

Another object of the invention is the p ro` vision of a hasp lock comprising two hasps which are held in cooperative engagement with a keeper by means of a removable pin.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which.;

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the lock as applied to a freight cardoor.

Figure 2 is a'horizontal section taken on line 227 Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the lock taken on line 3*3, Figure 1.

Figure is a detail side elevation of the lock showingthe sealing means, and7 Figure 5 is a. transverse section through the lock, the same being taken adjacent the hinge of one of the hasps.v

Referring tothe drawing more in detail, the numeral 1 designates the door j amb of a.

freight car or other enclosure provided with a sliding'door 2. Bolted to the door jamb 1 by means of the bolts 3 is the channel member 4. Secured to the webb of the channel mein-`r ber are the eye-bolts 5--5, while at one end thereof is hingedly connected the hasp 6. The hasp 6 is attached to the channel member 4 by means of the hinge'knuckle 7 brackets 8-8. Slots 9 9 are the hasp 6 for the eyebolts 5. e

Attached to the door 2 by means of the leaf 10 and hinge knuckles 11 is a hasp 12. Dot

5 and is also formed to'receive a portion of l the seal 17. f y A In operation, the door is moved to closed position', the hasp `12 is then swung into position with the lower eye-bolt 5 extending throughthe open'ingl. Hasp 6 is then swung upwardly so that the openings 9 thereof surround the bolts 5. It is now only necessary to slide the pin. `16 through 'the eye-bolts 5 and pass the seal 17 through both the, pin 16 andv upright 14E; The door is thereby securely locked in place and sealed and cannot be opened until the seal 17 is' first broken.
